Vultures smirk at predictions, defeat Redlegs in 170.00-127.20 rout

Vultures showed up, rolling to a 170.00-127.20 victory over Redlegs, who fell short of projections. Redlegs earned a 21.05-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Vultures after that. They were led by Latavius Murray (32 points) and the New England Patriots defense (25). Philip Rivers (329 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Dede Westbrook (14 Rush Yds, 103 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Redlegs in defeat. Vultures (4-3) will look to sustain their momentum against Cocks, while Redlegs (3-4) will attempt to develop some positive momentum against Brewmasters.
